Petition
Petition for review filed.
Two lawsuits were filed in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA’s) issuance of a Finding of No Significant Impact and Record of Decision for an air cargo facility in San Bernardino, California. One <a href="https://climatecasechart.com/case/center-for-community-action-environmental-justice-v-federal-aviation-administration/">petition for review</a> was filed by a local environmental justice group, Sierra Club, a union, and two individuals. The other lawsuit was brought by the State of California, which asserted in comments on the draft environmental assessment that the FAA had failed to mention either the presence of a nearby environmental justice community or the significant and unavoidable air quality, climate change, and noise impacts identified in an earlier California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review of the project by the San Bernardino International Airport Authority.

The petitioners’ claims included challenges to the Federal Aviation Administration’s conclusion that the project would not have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
